    3.73 Install :: Picture Crazy ::

    Had some buddies help me out with a 3.73 install, if you guys have kept up with my other threads you would know this is something that I've been wanting to do FOREVER and we finally managed to pull it off. Took the car around the block... and wow.

    Before I had a 2.97 or 2.91 not sure what it was, came with the ETA version I guess. I have converted EVERYTHING to I, manifold, throttle body and now 3.73 DIF thank god. The feeling of the car is completely different, pulls way harder in every gear, I can smash thru 1st to 4th and it just keeps going and going especially with my power mods.

    Pulled out of the driveway after we did a nice test drive and dropped the clutch around 4k rpms, ripped a nice fat burnout and got a little sideways. COMPLETELY livened up the car, it breathes better and just feels all around healthier. Anyways, enjoy the photos!



    My good friend Ian doing work.







    Old and New.



    Dillon a little dirty haha














    We finished it up, and I took it out. Loved it SO much. Went over to a buddies house to do some cooling work on his e30 projecto.

    Snapped a quick picture of my interior, haven't really posted too much on my interior lately. I'll take more later once I get my V1 hardwired.








    E85 Ethanol in a Moped lol, didnt work out too well... The kid pouring it has an evo that's being built by Reese right now, going to be about 600hp when he gets it back, he's getting SUPER anxious. I'll shoot it right away





    Gotta stay hydrated lol




    Overall, happy with the 3.73. Next up is Coilovers, sways and Turbo :)

                        Yes. Sucked, it was scary slow... but anything over 100mph it pulled hard.

                          I happen to like being able to down shift into 3rd at 100 with my 2.93...

                          The 3.73 is OK with the 885 top end swap, I think a 3.45 would be much better suited for a 2.7, the 4.10 was a joke.
